Under My Skin

On the bright side I learned

Illness would come to me

When I was out of town

It would not miss a beat

I spent my whole vacation lying around

Speaking through a tunnel, out of a druggy haze

Reading your words on the screen that first night I arrived

To hit me while I’m down

Don’t you get it I’ve still got you under my skin

The weather fell short

Of our expectations

In a place known for cloudless blue skies

It was chilly and wet

The day that they married – not a single dry eye

And everyone’s a pundit after the cork is popped

Save your money, do first for your honey and all that good stuff

I was too sick to tune in

Miss, do you need some air?

Someone’s taken my champagne

Don’t you get it I’ve still got you under my skin

It’s a passing phase –

In case they notice I’ve been a bad guest

I have myself planned a small escape hatch

My eyes grow heavy, my smile grows wide on the antihistamine

Now cake and Nyquil will send me back flat- faced on my

King-sized bed

At the La Quinta Inn

There’s a lot of thinking I could do

There are a lot of thoughts I’m passed out to

Must I spell it out –

Don’t you get it I’ve still got you under my skin

It’s a passing phase –
